AppleTV

It will come as no surprise to anyone reading this blog that I went out and bought an AppleTV the day it became available in the Apple store.  I was # 8 to get one for the day.  I assure you it was purely coincidence that I happened to be in Grand Rapids that day and looking for something to do before catching a movie.. it was in no way planned.. REALLY!

I've rather enjoyed being able to access all my geeky computer-downloaded content on my television.  This would include a large music collection, pictures, some ripped DVDs, a few shows downloaded from iTunes.. oh, and PODCASTS.  The video podcasts I can now watch on the AppleTV are the bees knees.  You probably have no idea how many video podcasts are available on iTunes absolutely free, and the quality of these (amateur?) productions is steadily increasing as more people figure out how to monetize the whole free video podcast concept.

Right now, the available video podcasts appeal mostly to technology enthusiasts, but you can also find videos on other subjects, such as travel.  Taking a trip and exploring the world is pure bliss for me.  Travelistic has video podcasts about all sorts of interesting places, and today I found they have a pretty spiffy website too.

You can download video podcasts from iTunes (free) without an AppleTV.. but you'll want one eventually as more content becomes available and you get really hooked like I am.
